Zo langzaam aan komt er de laatste paar weken toch weer iets meer leven in de brouwerij na een enigszins rustige zomer periode.
Het wachten is op enig nieuws van Sopheon zelf, en hopelijk kunnen de 1e meldingen van nieuwe klanten eerdaags medegedeeld worden.

Gijs welkom op het forum. Toppie

Bertus/Jan/Appie dank voor jullie bijdragen en moeite.

Fijn weekend allen.

Innovation practitioners need to strengthen their creative muscles by:

• Developing an awareness of themselves and others
• Creating a personalized program of developmental leadership with an executive coach
• Striving to improve their ability to spot hidden opportunities and act in more entrepreneurial ways
• Scheduling regular excursions to observe how certain customers use a product or service
• Attending a conference in a different industry
• Learning to ask more “what if…” questions

Sopheon Webinar

"A Growth Story – Lessons in Structuring Organizational Innovation"

September 24, 2009
3:30 pm GMT / 10:30 am EDT / 7:30 am PDT

Infineum, a world leader in the manufacture of petroleum additives, needed to improve its ability to identify and develop new opportunities for business expansion. Experimentation with a number of different approaches ultimately led to the formation of the Infineum ‘Growth’ team. Led by this team, under Peter Blackman’s direction, the company has established an enterprise-wide cultural and operational orientation toward innovation that has yielded a rich portfolio of new opportunities for growth outside its core business.

During this session, Peter will describe how Infineum made innovation a strategic corporate priority, and the steps it took – what worked and what didn’t – to turn that emphasis into business benefit.

By attending this free, online event you will learn:

The five critical lessons that underpin the success of Infineum’s growth initiatives
How to make innovation a core element of corporate strategy
Ways of escaping corporate orthodoxy to set the stage for increased innovation-driven growth
Best-practice approaches to structuring organizational innovation
A live Q&A will follow the presentation. Join us to submit your questions to Peter.

Event Details:
Date: September 24, 2009
Time: 3:30 pm GMT / 10:30 am EDT / 7:30 am PDT
Duration: 1 hour
Location: Online

Werk aan de winkel voor Sopheon Asia of Prodex ??

* August 18, 2009

The Federal Government has announced funding of $6.4 million to help 15 regional businesses boost innovation in Australia’s food industry, for both domestic and export markets.Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Tony Burke said the funding was under the first round of the Regional Food Producers Innovation and Productivity Program.

The Government suggests the program will help support regional jobs and regional economies through new technology and productivity improvements.

The 15 businesses cover a range of food industries, including seafood, nuts, dairy, vegetables and meat, within a number of regional economies in Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, NSW, Queensland and Western Australia.

Projects include installing laser-guided cutting ‘robots’ to maximise yield and efficiency in a slaughter room and adopting innovative chestnut-peeling equipment, to bring offshore processing back to Australia.

Mr Burke noted that the food and beverage industry supported more than 200,000 jobs across Australia and global competitiveness was the key to ensure the industry continues to grow.

“People in our food industries work hard to establish a competitive edge and the Government wants to encourage their efforts,” Mr Burke claimed. “Food production is a critical industry, not only for regional jobs, but also because Australia will have a role in helping to address the world food shortage.”

“This funding will underpin productivity growth right along the food production chain and value-adding to Australian produce.”

Around two-thirds of Australia’s food commodities are exported, worth more than $23 billion annually.

IT innovators beating recession

2 September, 2009

By Mark Cox

Businesses that continue to invest in IT are better positioned to weather the economic downturn, and will be better equipped to capitalize on any future economic recovery, according to a new survey of 300 European enterprise IT decision makers and research from the London School of Economics (LSE).
Results of the 2009 European IT Survey, sponsored by BMC Software indicate that one in four companies -- the Thrivers -- are beating the recession by focusing on improving their IT organization's operational efficiency and reinvesting those cost savings into strategic IT projects that drive new business. Many of the surveyed CIOs highlighted their belief that sustained IT investment is strongly linked to overall business performance.

The survey also reflected interesting differences between the approaches to IT investment and innovation in the three countries. For example, German companies are the most consistent in their approach to innovation. They typically spend 24 percent of their IT budgets on innovation with a drop in spend of only 8 percent on average. In comparison, French companies are the most cautious; with innovation spend decreasing by 17 percent in the downturn. The UK has the most enthusiastic sentiment towards innovation, with 67 percent prioritizing innovation and 77 percent innovating in good and bad times.

"The lesson we can draw here is that companies cannot simply save their way back to recovery," said Dr. Alexander Grous of the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) at the London School of Economics, who has studied the link between IT investment and business performance extensively. "Innovation deficits are extremely hard to redress. Organizations that recover best are those investing in areas of the business that can deliver long-term returns -- areas such as IT."

The survey found consistent IT investment continues to deliver positive impact to business performance. The 25 percent of companies categorized as Thrivers see the recession as a real opportunity.

60 percent of those surveyed stated that investment in new technology drives business performance. More than a year into the downturn, 77 percent of companies are already realising cost savings from IT. 64 percent recognise that IT investment can drive down costs in other parts of the business. 60 percent of companies that have realised cost savings are reinvesting in strategic IT projects.

"The message is really very simple," continued Dr. Grous. "Good management practices will maximize the benefits and advantages of smart IT investment. 'Cutting muscle' to save costs in key innovation-enhancing areas such as IT can kill a company in this environment. Put another way, becoming 'skeletal' to try and get through a recession means that you might not have the strength to make it out. If you do make it out, you may not have what's necessary to take on the smart players who got it right."

Despite increasing evidence of a fundamental link between IT spending and innovation, good practices and business success - IT investment in has dropped by 11 percent overall across all firms. A contributing factor could be that in more than half of companies surveyed, decisions about IT cost cutting are made outside the IT departments.

The survey identified three types of companies -- Thrivers, Survivors and Hiders -- each with a different approach to the recession.

Twenty-five percent of the surveyed companies reported taking a proactive approach, clearly marking themselves as Thrivers. These companies have a greater focus on IT automation as a route to cost cutting (41 percent versus 22 percent of 'survivors') while only reducing innovation spend by 0.5 percent overall. They also reinvest IT savings to further enhance business efficiency.

In fact, Thrivers are twice as likely to go for fast ROI and reinvest cost savings into IT innovation and efficiency. Choosing to see the recession as an active opportunity, these companies are highly motivated in the face of adversity and respond more acutely to the challenging environment. And there's a particularly interesting statistic on Thrivers: while 52 percent of them say they have been directly impacted by the recession, only 28 percent say this has resulted in a decrease in sales.

Specifically regarding IT investment, 'Thriver' companies are more assertive and tend to concentrate on projects that deliver rapid returns, with 35 percent focusing on reducing infrastructure complexity and 46 percent rationalizing IT operations. This forward-looking group is twice as likely to reinvest these cost savings into continuing IT efficiencies to enable them to thrive during the period of economic recovery.

Thrivers are twice as likely to pursue automation of IT processes with 41 percent having invested in automation as an innovative approach to reduce costs, compared to only 22 percent of reactive business and 37 percent of businesses not recognizing its potential. In addition, 76 percent are planning to look to innovations such as virtualization as a means to improve efficiencies in the next 18 months.

Many companies, however, are battening down the hatches and focusing on being a Survivor. Making up approximately one-third of the survey, these companies are in crisis mode, reacting to conditions with short-term cost-cutting and trying to make it out of the recession alive. Based on the survey data, these companies are much more likely to reduce the critical application infrastructure (23 percent against 13 percent of other respondents) that will be necessary for future success. In a Survivor company, decision makers also tend to be more detached from the heartbeat of their business, with only 56 percent in frequent contact with their end-user customers.

Lastly, there are the Hiders, the companies who have not yet begun to deal with the impact of the recession on their business. More than 40 percent of surveyed companies have adopted this posture. CIOs working in these companies are much less likely to streamline their IT operations, with only 28 percent compared to 38 percent of other respondents. They also have fundamentally lower expectations about their IT organization's ability to help other parts of the business to drive down costs (58 percent versus 68 percent of other businesses).

The survey was conducted by Loudhouse between June -- July 2009. Research was across UK, France and Germany and interviewed 100 CIOs per country in companies with an average turnover in excess of ¬2 billion.

Interessant Bertus.

Heb ik niet gisteren pas nog, gelezen dat bedrijven helemaal niets meer willen investeren ?.

Als ik dit zo eens lees, geeft men toch aan, dat als bedrijven blijven investeren, beter uitgerust zijn voor toekomstig economisch herstel.

Kortom, Sopheon lijkt mij wel een bedrijf wat iets te bieden heeft voor menig bedrijf.

Bedankt weer.

Frank.

Dit zijn in mijn ogen de bedrijven die voor de doorgeschoven orders zorgen.
Nu de eerste tekenen van een opklimmen van de economiën zichtbaar worden zal dit segment in innoverende IT investeren om een concurentie voordeel te behalen.

Dus de periode 2e halfjaar 2009 en 1e halfjaar 2010 is uitermate intressant voor S.

* Dat denk en verwacht ikzelf ook.
Men heeft van Sopheon immers al aangegeven dat men verwacht dat doorgeschoven orders in het 2e halfjaar
getekend gaan worden.

* En positieve financiele effecten van waar het bedrijf heeft ingegrepen (intern)zoals op R&D .. zouden ook zichtbaar worden in loop 2e halfjaar.
